Miltiadis Kyriakides got it all in on a flop of 
against Michael Liebgorin, who was shorter-stacked. Kyriakides held 
for a pair and a flush draw, while Liebgorin also had diamonds in his 
hand, but only his straight draw was live.
"Small straight!" he called.
The dealer didn't deliver, placing first the 
then the 
down.
Leif Force raised to 15,000, and Miltiadis Kyriakides three-bet to 35,000. Force called, and the two got in for Force's last 20,000 on the 
flop. Force was in total command with 
for top set against the 
of Kyriakides, and he survived.
Jarred Graham bet 30,000 on a 
flop, and Darius Studdard moved in for just 2,000 more and was obviously called.
Studdard: 
Graham: 
Studdard had an overpair and blockers to Graham's draw, but the 
spiked on the turn. Studdard could still win if he filled up, but the 
hit, no help to Studdard.
A player raised to 15,000 at Table 347, and Sam Trickett called. Martin Kozlov potted it, and Trickett was the only caller. On the 
flop, Trickett forced Kozlov in for his last 70,000 or so, and Kozlov quickly called.
Kozlov: 
Trickett: 
Kozlov had the best hand for the moment, but Trickett had plenty of equity with a pair and a wrap. He binked his straight, sending Kozlov out in 47th so the tournament is now on the money bubble. Hand-for-hand play has begun.
We arrive at the table and Phil Laak has bet 22,000 into a pot of 35,000 with the board showing 
. Sergey Rybachenko called and the action was on Chance Kornuth who firmly said "raise the pot" - which the dealer announced was a raise to 124,000. Laak and Rybachenko folded and J.C. Tran chided Kornuth by saying "is that all you know how to do? Raise the pot?"
Kornuth smiled as he stacked his newly acquired chips.
Three players checked to Chance Kornuth on the button with the board reading 
, and he bet 27,000. JC Tran called in middle position, as did Marko Neumann on his left. On the turn, Kornuth saw two checks in front of him, and he potted for 144,000. Tran mucked quickly, but Neumann took longer.
"Pot," he told the dealer after a few minutes, eliciting a quick fold from Kornuth.
"You guys were supposed to fold," Kornuth said.
Phil Laak opened to 12,000 from the hijack and JC Tran called from the cutoff. It was folded to Sergey Rybachenko in the big blind who made the call.
The flop came 
and Rybachenko and Laak checked to Tran who made a bet of 21,000. Both players folded but not before Laak said "I folded blockers."
"Disciplined laydown," smiled Tran, as he showed for the flopped Broadway straight.
Players are back and playing some PLO - the tournament is four away from the money so we should hit hand-for-hand bubble action soon.
